    Wookong Controller advice wanted

    erm no its windows laptop controlled waypoint wise same as A2, not sure theres a mac version and certainly not sure if theres an ipad version. I recommend you need to google it before buying anything. get some knowledge on the flight controllers your looking at.

    Wookong Controller advice wanted

    never had one flip on me, and the only reason they used too was bad location / vibration through the frame. But WKM and A2 i'd happily fly as they are both great flight controllers

    Depends how you go about it. 2 ways one update ops manual and do a fixed wing flight test with an NQE and then submit to the CAA cost about 173 pounds plus NQE flight test cost. 2nd way add aircraft to ops manual - Use BMFA 'Plane A' to apply to the CAA directly cost 173 pounds
